MIGRAINE IN MIDDLE-AGED PATIENTS: ANATOMICAL FEATURES OF SKULL AND BRAIN STRUCTURE IN ITS PATHOGENESIS, TREATMENT STRATEGIES AND PROLONGATION OF REMISSION
Keywords:
Migraine, middle age, skull anatomy, brain structure, pathogenesis, treatment, remission, prevention.Abstract
This study investigates the role of anatomical features of the skull and brain structures in the pathogenesis of migraine in middle-aged patients and evaluates effective treatment strategies along with methods to prolong remission periods. The research examines how variations in cranial and cerebral anatomy contribute to migraine susceptibility and severity, highlighting the importance of structural factors alongside genetic, hormonal, and environmental triggers. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions are analyzed, including acute and preventive medications, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and digital health tools. Findings emphasize that individualized, multifactorial approaches integrating structural, clinical, and behavioral considerations are essential for reducing attack frequency, alleviating symptoms, and extending remission duration, thereby improving the overall quality of life for middle-aged migraine patients.
